Our Story:

Moira 2.0 is the story of a young woman named Moira who was murdered 5 years before the start of the film. Her best friend, Chloe, accidentally resurrects Moira from the dead, and after Moira discovers that her murderer was never caught, she goes on a mission with her brother and Chloe to find and kill the woman who killed her.

Moira 2.0 is both a dark comedy and a supernatural thriller. It's a story about life and death, and it touches upon the subject with humor, humanity, badass women and strong, complex characters of both genders.

A Word From the Writer/Director/Producer:

While there are a lot of great things happening in Hollywood, strong and well-rounded acting roles for women and people of color are unfortunately rare both on screen and behind the scenes. While this issue has fortunately become a topic of discussion lately, we still have a very long way to go. Intentionally or not, film and television is incredibly influential in our society and by opening up our industry and properly representing women and people of color, we will hopefully see some positive changes for women and people of color in society as well.

I am beyond excited to shoot this film and eventually be able to share it with the world. Writing has always been my passion, and I feel very lucky that my passion also happens to have the capability of reaching out to the masses and hopefully making even the tiniest bit of a difference in the world. 

Whether you can contribute or not, I hope you will follow our film and our campaign on Facebook at www.facebook.com/moirathemovie.

Our Team

 Chelsea Stone: Writer/Director/Producer

Chelsea Stone graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale at the age of 20 with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature. She has written three feature films and has dreamed of being a professional writer for as long as she can remember.

 Elliot: Assistant Director

Elliot is a California native born and raised in sunny Pasadena. After receiving his bachelors in Psychology, he spent a year abroad teaching English to underprivileged children in rural Korea. After he returned home, he decided to pursue his passion of working in film production. His education and life experiences have equipped him with a unique set of skills that make him an invaluable asset to the team. 

Actors

 Emy Tibangin as Moira Kalinga

Emy Tibangin is an aspiring screenwriter and currently works on a variety of television shows on MTV and ABC as a stand-in, body double, and actor. She holds a BA in Social/Cultural Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley, and enjoys computer programming on the side.

"Growing up, I couldn't connect with film — the characters’ narratives greatly differed from my reality. Additionally, the actors onscreen that somewhat resembled me in appearance or culture were difficult to watch because of the humiliating stereotypical characters they portrayed. As much as audiences are told that film is often fiction, the characters and imagery do still leave an imprint in the minds of viewers. The way women and people of color are depicted in the media affects how we are perceived and treated in real life. With its broad reach, film has the power to inspire its audiences of all ages, if only just to properly broadcast visuals of strong, multi-dimensional women and people of color. The archaic Hollywood industry has been dragging its feet, claiming that it’s simply providing what its audiences want. However, many of us are eager for change *now,* and are utilizing the democratizing effect of the Internet and crowdsourcing culture to take charge bit-by-bit and generate our own content. May this one story, among a sea of others, inspire more to come out and create their own."

 Felisha Michelle Cacho as Chloe Reyes

Born and raised in California, Felisha Michelle Cacho began her intensive studies at The New York Film Academy in 2008. After acquiring her degree, she kept herself immersed in classes at The Artist Theatre Group and The William Alderson Acting Studio. Trained in Meisner, Felisha has played gritty and emotional roles in Film and Theatre. Her wide variety of training spans from Acting for Film/TV all the way to Stunt and Stage combat. After writing and directing her first short film “Halfway Home", Felisha caught the writing bug. When she is not acting for the camera, she is writing for it. From short films to comedic web series, Felisha keeps herself very involved in the creative process.

 Les Tibangin as Luke Kalinga

Les has been called a "Renaissance man" and a "jack-of-all-trades." After getting lucky in the stock market, he took up computer programming, started tinkering with open source microcontrollers, and dabbled with quadcopter drones. He is also part of a dance team, and loves dancing salsa, bachata, hip-hop, and few others.

"When we were kids, Emy and I used to scribble comics, which were basically storyboards, onto scraps of binder paper. We had plenty of laughs sharing stories full of inside jokes that poked fun at ourselves and other people. Often times, we wondered what it would be like to actually turn these comics into movies. By being part of this project, I'm finally scratching an itch I’ve wanted to scratch.

I look forward to working with the cast and crew – a group of individuals who I admire and respect for their creative energy, social consciousness, and desire to give a voice to those who have none. I have a belief that if I can accomplish a major goal on my own, then that goal isn’t big enough. I think this belief holds true for this project as well. We have a movie we want to make, but we can’t do it on our own, and so we need your help by being a financial donor. Thank you, and best wishes."

 Alicia Brower as Isabella Winters

Alicia Brower grew up in Eugene, Oregon with the dreams of becoming a psychologist or an actress. At age 18, the decision was made and she packed up and drove off to LA, leaving college and a degree in psychology behind. However, living in LA these past 10 years has only heightened Alicia's interest in psychology and with the tumultuous world ever changing, the understanding of the human mind is a constant fascination to her. To play the movie's serial killer is not only a thrill for her, but an awesome opportunity to explore what it's like in the shoes of a psychopath. 

 Andy Podare as James

Andy Podare fell into acting as a kid when a scout found him in the supermarket. He finished high school early and ended up at Stella Adler in Los Angeles at the age of 18. Shortly after his first year, his father passed away from lung cancer.

"It took me out of the game. I got lost in my head and my emotions, and I back tracked heavily. I was working for a hospital at the time, and I was losing my mind. I had to get back into acting. I felt out of place."

He has been in countless projects as an extra and has booked a few small gigs.

"A character like James is a little treasure we actors look for. My father encouraged me to follow my dream. This role is for him."

 Leslie Nadine Cortes as Katy

Leslie is from Surprise, Arizona. She graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Service and Public Policy. She has lived in Los Angeles for over 2 years. 

"I was always interested in acting, but I really fell in love with it my senior year of college. While I was busy making other plans, acting chose me. "

 Austin Hanner as David Aspen

Austin Hanner is an actor and aspiring screenwriter/filmmaker. He graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2010 with a BA in Theatre. Soon after graduation, he moved to Los Angeles where he has been acting in various projects ever since.

"I'm very much looking forward to working with such a diverse group of talented people on this project. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of an exciting story that Chelsea has worked so hard on and poured her heart in to. It's not easy to take on all of these tasks and utilize all of your resources to get a film made, and she's doing it! That's more than a lot of us can say."

 Matthew Wayne Roberts as Hal

Matthew Wayne Roberts of Clinton, IL has been acting since birth. He was born in November, and was playing Baby Jesus by that Christmas Eve. After attending Southern Illinois University as a student of Creative Writing, Film, and Theatrical Performance, he packed up and made way to the Land of Smoke & Mirrors in 2010.

 Sophie Ni as Support Group Leader

 Stephanie Ritter as Cop 1

She’s been performing and writing for years, and moved out to Los Angeles to pursue sketch comedy and television writing. In her off time, she moonlights as a cat whisperer. 

 Kalyn Rivers as Cop 2

A classically trained actress, Kalyn has played roles from Shakespeare to zombie killers. Hailing from the great city of Chicago, Kalyn currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. She holds a B.F.A. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Our Budget

Our goal is $15,000. While that is a very low budget for a feature film, we are determined to make it work.

Your contribution will be used to pay for equipment, food, post production needs, locations, special effects, props, wardrobe, set decoration, stunts and possible promotional avenues once the film is finished.

All of our cast and crew will be working under "pay deferred" contracts, which means none of us will be paid (not even for our days of work) unless our film makes a profit. However, if we make enough money from this campaign to pay for all of our necessities, any excess money will be used to pay our cast and crew for their hard work. 

Thank You for Checking Out Our Campaign!

Regardless of whether you’re giving your support through financial means, words of encouragement or a promise to check out the movie when it comes out, I want to thank you. Because of crowdfunding opportunities and people like you who are excited to support indie filmmakers, we are capable of living our dreams and making a difference.
